Chapter 219 Master Tan

"Princess Yiyi? Don't you think she's acting very peaceful at this time? On weekdays, there are some personality jumps, so you don't want to be so taboo as Brother Wen, right? I think that Pang Sheng'er is a real little witch! Li Zhi was surprised.

Guan Ming smiled bitterly, "That's because you didn't see her true face!" At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was able to organize some of the daughters of the family and set up a celebrity benevolence and righteousness association, causing trouble everywhere in the circle of gentlemen, but my old father apologized for her. Pang Sheng'er just has a more detached personality and is a little bolder, where is like Yiyi, the initiator of the kind of incident who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic! ”

At this time, Yiyi, who was busy with sweat oozing from the tip of her nose, was also very patient to interpret it to a group of little girls, although she was not very old.

Next to Qingqi and others have people in front of their own people, the hot sale of color paper is often for the inscription or letters, which is red, all the rich and noble families in later generations to exchange money for silver, are written with this kind of color paper, called the red ticket, so that on the red paper, Li Zhi specially explained, carved on the faint several columns of vertical lines.

It has only been on sale for three days, and some people have come to customize this kind of red color paper in large quantities, and Qingqi is picking red tickets for these people.

Because the color of each notebook is uneven, it needs to be opened and put together, and the rest of the colors are purchased by very small girls.

At this time, Pang Xi waved to Li Zhiyao, and rushed forward, and some customers talked about the cost customization of such red tickets, Li Zhi nodded again and again, "There is no price increase, it is nothing more than a single color bound into a book!" Look, how about I send someone to the house early tomorrow morning? ”

People who came to praise: "It is said that Zhengqing Wenqitang is big, has a good background, and the goods sold are the only one in Chang'an City, but I didn't expect that there is no mistake in the attitude, and I am very kind in the face of such harsh requirements!" Don't hide it from Mr. Li, I am a southern merchant engaged in spices and medicines in Xishi, and we are surrounded by some people from Guangzhou and Quanzhou, who have a soft spot for red, so I pay attention to a festive and auspicious business, and I am not deliberately embarrassed by expensive shops! ”

The East Market mainly served the royal family and dignitaries, while the West Market was more popular and commoner, and it was also a famous foreign trade center.

At the height of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was one of the largest cities in the world at the time, and as the political, economic and cultural center of China at that time, Chang'an was favored by foreigners.

Most of them came from countries along the Silk Road, an important overland trade route through Eurasia.

Most of the foreign merchants who transported goods from their home countries to Chang'an and traded them in the West Market, which greatly contributed to the prosperity of the market, and these merchants mainly dealt in jewelry, silk, tea, spices, and medicinal herbs.

As a result, similar businesses in Datang have also been driven, such as the spices and medicines that this person deals in, which come from the southern coastal cities where such goods are more developed.

Li Zhi waved his hand to show his attitude, "Customer service is the foundation of business, our family has just been on the market for a few days, how to create more suitable goods, it is also necessary for customers like you to feedback the demand conditions in a timely manner, so as to make targeted improvements!" ”

"I know that Mr. Li in the West City also has a similar shop, such a huge area, and it is the only shop in the east and west cities that occupies the entire city, but everyone in our West City is watching to see what major measures Mr. Li has taken to the West Market, and whether the event is still a grand event!"

This person's speech was already extremely tactful, and Li Zhi could also hear that he was making trouble in the East Market, which made countless merchants in the West Market jealous, and was waiting for him to go there to see him return.

It's just that the huge shop in the West Market has become a thorn in the eyes of everyone, and countless people want to take it but can't, because the nature of its existence is completely different from that of a group of official shops, and others only pay rent to rent a business position, and that place violates the regulations of the imperial court to monopolize a city, but it belongs to a private name, how can it not teach people to be blushing.

Moreover, the east and west cities also occupy the core position, if it were not for the fact that Li Yiwen had not spent money, and was obtained by the imperial court as a reward in the palace, someone would have spent money or grabbed it by trust.

Since he can't move, Li Zhi is thriving in the East Market, and some relatively narrow-minded people in the Jade West Market have been secretly spreading the word, waiting for him to make a fool of himself when the store in the West Market opens.

You must know that a square city is often full of more than ten or twenty ordinary merchants, such a one occupies the entire city, and it is such a prime location, and it also occupies a pit without, and it is normal for some people to be envious, jealous and hateful.

After all, it is known that Zhengqing Wenqitang is mainly engaged in high-end goods, and the West Market is a place where popular civilians gather, and it is also a center of foreign trade.

Especially those foreigners, who come here to trade on the map of the complete variety of colors, low prices, otherwise the hard work of the whole world, there is something wrong with the brain, will cross the ocean to transport some luxury goods back? How much does that cost?

"Don't hide it from this gentleman, the shop in my West Market will open in a few days, it is engaged in spices and medicinal herbs, and it is still positioned as high-end goods, including many of the top luxury goods in the world, and it will not crowd out your business with your southern compatriots!"

Now Pang Ti has developed more than a dozen natural spices, just waiting for the palace glass factory to customize the bottle, once the refractive Ambilight glass bottle is produced in large quantities, it is the time for him to officially enter the West Market.

There have been orders for the customization of snuff bottles for a long time, but because the material is quite valuable and the process is extremely complex, the output rate is very low, but there are thousands of them at present.

Li Zhi has the best white jade in his hand, and he is planning to find someone to customize a few and give them to Gaozong for use.

Tobacco is ground into a very fine powder, musk and other precious medicinal materials are added, and then refined with flowers, Gaozong's condition has been suppressed, and when it comes to even yin, damp and stuffy weather, there will still be discomfort such as chest tightness, give him some snuff, sneez a few times, and it will be fast.

When the emperor smoked snuff, it would lead the court to follow suit, and it was when the snuff trend was rising, and it would cause a sensation when it was sold in the West Market, at least because of the emergence of Zhengqing Wenqitang products, breaking the shackles brought about by the traditional business model of the east and west cities.

Of course, Li Zhi's willingness is not so, he is willing to stay in the East Market all the time, but it is a pity that the commercial center has a lot of land and land, where is there a huge store that can accommodate him alone, and it is also helpless to divide a part of it to the West Market.

Originally, Li Zhi was not in a hurry to go to Xishi, but in the speech after this person came, he heard something, and his youthful and energetic psychology also emerged.

However, this is not from his irrationality, but to think of the subsequent trip to Lishan, the trip to Guangxi after the wedding, and after returning, maybe he will start preparing to kill Luoyang City, leaving him not much time, and the opening of the West Market is indeed imperative.

When the man heard Li Zhi's words, his face was full of disbelief, perhaps he was in a hurry to go back to preach it, and after paying enough deposit, he left quickly.

At this time, Li Zhi was really interested, and turned to find Guan Ming, who had been in the palace for several years and knew more about the affairs of Ouchi.

After listening to what he said, Guan Ming repeatedly looked at the white jade in his hand and pointed him out, "This kind of jade is indeed unusual, and it is indeed too conspicuous to openly hand it over to the jade hall in the palace." In this way, you go to find Master Tan, although this person has been retired for many years, but he has a very high ancestral jade carving skills, and now there are several imperial craftsmen in the palace who are taught by him! And this person is not good at pleasing people in the officialdom, and he is not afraid of the powerful, he is just obsessed with jade carving all his life, and when he sees rare textures, he is more kind than seeing his mother, you need to bring it in advance to make him feel deeply shocked by the jade, otherwise I am afraid that there is a holy edict to him, and he will also follow his own temperament, and his temperament is very stubborn! ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed, about how difficult it was for this person to impress, he didn't care at all, as he was in his seventies, it was inevitable that his old eyes would be dizzy, and he loved the art of jade carving so much, he simply combed his body, and he could recover his eyes and hands, not to mention that he had many superb jade in his hand.

Guan Ming casually stuffed the white jade in his hand into his cuffs, causing Li Yu to laugh, "I have found a problem more and more, among the three generations of the major families in Chang'an City, I and Caiwen are among the few old-fashioned ideological peers who are older and have a dull temper and personality, but in front of the text, they are obviously much more cheerful!" Like Caiwen, the moment when he revealed his greedy face was the first time I saw it in so many years! ”

As if he had already realized his ridicule, Guan Mingle said: "It's rare for you and me to laugh at each other like this, right?" Or is it because of Mr. Li's personality charm, as I said just now, he feels relaxed physically and mentally in front of him, and he takes off his mask on weekdays, and his true temperament no longer wants to hide it. ”

Li Zhi took out another piece of white jade the same fist size and handed it to Li Yu, "That's right, the position needs to be more serious, I don't know how to adjust myself in private, I'm afraid that after the age of forty, the whole person will enter old age in advance, this is not alarmist!" ”

Li Yu fiddled with the jade in his hand repeatedly, obviously it was the first time he had accepted such a casual gift from others, and it was the kind of precious object that was extremely exquisite.

It wasn't until he saw that he was finally tucked into his sleeve that Guan Ming smiled, "What Mr. Li gave us, there is nothing to be pretentious, besides, you are still a family!" And I won't ask you for anything like that! ”

Li Yu's expression really relaxed, "You should also understand that the Ming Palace's Mansion has always been extremely strict with this kind of thing, just imagine that I accepted that kind of strict etiquette when I was a child, and suddenly changed, there must be an adaptation process!" However, I like this piece of jade very much, and I plan to make a few pieces of jewelry for Yuan Wan. ”

In front of him, Li Zhi had no words, and now he is treated differently by the Ming Wangfu as a family, and his eldest brother will naturally have a congratulatory gift for his marriage, maybe as long as he is in front of the two Ming kings in the mansion, this gift can be sent.

When the flow of people was less, Li Zhi asked Guan Ming to take him to Master Tan's mansion.

It is said to be a mansion, but in fact it is a small courtyard for ordinary people to enter alone, but it is very close to the East Market, and it is only ten minutes to walk without driving a horse.

When I opened the door, I saw the old man's dull face, with high cheekbones, white temples, and a half-foot long hair that was being held by a big hand like a small fan, which was covered with calluses.

Obviously, he was quite surprised to see Guan Ming coming, although he was an old acquaintance, he had never had a deep friendship with each other, which made Master Tan's tone a little cold: "It's rare that there are still people in the palace who are worried about the old decay, Lord Shilang, is this a task for me?" It's a pity that the old eyes are dizzy, and I have the heart but I am powerless, I am afraid that the adults will be disappointed and return! ”

Guan Ming saluted respectfully: "The kid is no longer in the palace, this time it is a completely private matter, this is Mr. Li, a newly rising miracle doctor in Chang'an City, give you a look at your body, you won't shirk it, right?" ”

Seeing that he was smiling all over his face, and it was not an official matter in the palace, the old man's face immediately relaxed a lot, but he had no intention of turning sideways to let the two of them in: "It's really rare to be such a young divine doctor, but..."

Without waiting for him to refuse, Li Zhi had already penetrated into the old man's body with a wisp of true qi, and just a circulation made him feel comfortable all over his body.
